1. A heating means 4 for heating the toilet room by the fan 5 is configured.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. When the toilet bowl 2 is used for toilet or other purposes, the solenoid 5 is energized to rotate the fan 5 with the damper 32 closed, and the deodorizing port 47 at the end of the ventilation passage 14 facing the toilet bowl 2 is rotated. Deodorant filter 1 that absorbs the odor in the toilet bowl 2 from
Deodorant by 5, passes through the heater internal air passage portion 19 of the heating case 17, and is blown out from the blowout port 37. Here, when the heater 21 is not energized, only deodorization is performed. On the other hand, when the heater 21 is energized during the deodorizing action, the odor sucked from the deodorizing port 47 at the tip of the ventilation passage 14 is deodorized by the deodorizing filter 15, and the deodorized air is heated by the heater interior wind of the heating case 17. When passing through the road portion 19, it is heated by the heater 21 and is blown out as warm air from the air outlet 37 to heat the toilet room and heat the feet of a person sitting on the toilet seat. Particularly, in this case, the louver 39 located at the blowout port 37 portion of the lower surface of the heating case 17 attached to the lower surface of the other end of the main body case 6 is directed diagonally forward and downward so that the louver 39 is positioned forward as it goes downward. Since it is inclined downwardly, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 6, warm air is blown out obliquely downward and forward from the outlet 37, so that the feet of the person sitting on the toilet seat can be heated.

The above-mentioned heating of the toilet room is, so to speak, deodorizing heating which is performed at the same time when deodorizing. However, when the deodorizing operation is not required and only the toilet room is heated, the solenoid 34 should be de-energized. Then the damper 32
With the fan open, the fan 5 is rotated and the heater 21 is energized. In this case, since the damper 32 is opened, the air in the toilet room is sucked into the suction port 38.
Flow through the air intake portion 20 to the ventilation passage 14 from the communication port 45, and are heated by the heater 21 when passing through the fan internal air passage portion 19 via the fan 5 and are blown out as warm air from the outlet 37 to the toilet room. Is for heating.
In this case, the suction port 38 is larger than the deodorizing port 47 at the tip of the ventilation path 14, and the flow path from the suction port 38 to the fan 5 is short and the duct resistance is small, but the deodorizing port 47 does not blow into the fan. Up to 5, the flow path is long and the line resistance is large. Therefore, with the damper 32 open, the fan 5
When a large amount of air is sucked only from the suction port 38 when it is turned, it is heated by the heater 21 when passing through the fan internal air passage 19 via the fan 5 and is blown out as a large amount of warm air from the blowout port 37 to the toilet. The room is heated.

As described above, according to the present invention, two air volumes can be selected, namely, a case of blowing out a small amount of warm air by deodorizing heating and a case of blowing out a large amount of warm air only for heating without deodorizing. .. Then, in the case of blowing out a small amount of warm air by the deodorization heating, two heaters 21a, 2
It is set so that only one heater 21a of 1b is energized, and both heaters 21a and 21b are energized in the case of a large air volume that does not deodorize. By doing so, the heat generation can be adjusted according to the air volume, and the temperature of the hot air blown out can be made the same. In the above embodiment, two heaters 21 are provided to adjust the heat generation according to the air volume. However, only one heater 21 is used to adjust the heat generation by changing the applied voltage applied to the heater 21. It may be performed.

In the embodiment described above, a communication port 45 is provided on the lower surface of the main body case 6, and the heating case 17 is provided.
The air intake part 20 having the damper 32 is provided in the air intake part 20 when the heating case 17 is attached to the lower surface part of the main body case 6.
Although the embodiment is shown in which the communication port 45 is communicated with the communication port 45, only the deodorizing blowout port 16 may be provided on the lower surface of the main body case 6 as shown in FIG. In this case, the heating case 17 is provided with only the heater internal air passage portion 19 in which the heater 21 is internally provided, and the intake portion 20 is not provided. The heater internal air passage portion 19 may be detachably attached to the lower surface portion so as to communicate with the deodorizing air outlet 16. In this case, the toilet room is heated only by deodorant heating. When heating is not required, the heating case 17 only needs to be removed from the main body case 6, and in this case, even if the heating case 17 is removed from the main body case 6, the deodorizing outlet 16 is provided on the lower surface of the main body case 6. Since it is open to the user, it is not visible to the user and does not impair the appearance, and even if it is sold as the local cleaning device 1 without heating, it does not impair the appearance at all.
Local cleaning device 1 without heating, Local cleaning device 1 with heating
The same main body case 6 can be used as each main body case 6.
